The links on this page will take you to the pictures.Almost all of them have been contributed by members
and others, and we appreciate these fine contributions.Yours are welcome, too.To have something posted, e-mail it to the webmaster
as a .jpg file and we’ll take it from there.Other formats work, too; .jpg just seems to be the most common.

One of our most prolific
contributors is Mark Llanuza.Mark
is a well known Chicago area rail
photographer who, unlike many others, made a point of photographing not just
trains and equipment but railroad employees as well.Attesting to the quality of Mark’s work is the fact that the North
Western, Union Pacific & Metra have all requested his assistance from time
to time in photographing special events.

Other generous contributors include
Illinois Division Engineer Dave Hawley,
Louis Wilson and Wally Smith, a
retired Wisconsin Division engineer.Unfortunately, Wally and his
wife died in a tragic automobile accident in August 2004.Many of the people is his photographs remain
unidentified.If you see someone you
know or recognize the event at which the picture was taken – please let us know
and we will add the information.Again,
e-mail the webmaster.

What
more appropriate photo is there to start this off with than “The 400.”This is a 1941 company photo taken as No. 401
was passing under Bridge B, a few feet west of Clinton Street Tower.I guess we could title this picture “All Gone!”The covered wagons, the streamliner consist,
the signal bridge, the semaphores, ClintonStreetTower
and even the wooden ties; they’re all gone!

We
had a link to this one on the main page during the heat of summer to cool you
off and have now moved it to this location.Thanks to Dave Hawley, who is also the engineer, for making us aware of
this You Tube location where you will get a short commercial but the film is
worth it.Click on:http://tinyurl.com/8a4dnx7

Afternoon
Train to Carroll Ave.

One of
the more unique Chicago area operations was the Navy Pier Line.Originally extending out to Navy Pier, the
line by 1999 had been cut back

to the
Sun-Times Building, its last customer.Let's follow the UP 1730 with Engineer Jeff Lilja and Conductor Danny Barden as the train makes

its way
over a vintage drawbridge, under huge downtown buildings and down Carroll
Avenue's street tracks.Clicking on the
